Is it time to upgrade or is my pc still very decent

If I boil it down, I think 16GB is reaching the point of being obsolete (due to increasing size/memory usage of apps and games) and when that happens you WILL notice the degradation in performance. So, if you plan to keep this system any decent length of time (e.g. 1.5 - 2+ years) rather than switching to AM5&DDR5, then I'd just do it now while the memory upgrade is relatively cheap and widely available.

The technicalities of losing performance with higher latency and fewer ranks is not a big deal when/if you're running out of memory, but if you can avoid it: I'd do it. Having dual rank 16x2 sticks will likely gain you more performance than the latency, FYI.


Be careful with the 4060 Ti, they're barely faster than the 3060 Ti (especially in a PCI-E 3.0 board) and the 16GB version is way overpriced.

So far as I know the new cards will be released over the next months, but RDNA4 is midrange only, so more likely to be appealing than nvidia, since I'd expect them to go high-end first.
Thanks, ill take your advice and upgrade to 32gb, but ill wait a little longer for the new GPU release since they will be mid tier, which maybe suitable for me, even if they are not more older models will come onto the 2nd hand market.

Your titan X is around 1660 super performance so something like a 6750xt would give you a 75% performance increase over your titan x.

The 6750xt can be had for around the £285 mark


The 4060ti is about 10% faster on average than the 12gb 6750xt but costing around £340 for the 8gb version. Nvidia do have better upscalling tech so something to consider.
Thanks, ill take a look, considering the cost and benefits .
 
Any particular brand to get ?
also since most RAM has a life time warranty, I assume it does not matter if I buy new or used.
